Sunday - 5 Things

I was actually going to publish a different post I have ready, but wanted to write this instead so here we are. I've had a pretty hectic week with work being really busy and uni work due in, but a couple of exciting things have happened. So I'd thought I'd let you know all what I've been up to this week, and I also have a rather exciting announcement/update to share!

1. New blog URL!!

You MAY not have noticed, because I've got redirects set up so if you type in my old URL you'd still end up here, but I finally bought my domain!! I've been wanting to do this for ages, but I'm super indecisive and was thinking about changing to Wordpress and then was wondering if I'd need hosting and kept putting it off. In the end though, I realised I was pretty happy with my blog design here on ol' Blogger so thought I'd just buy my domain and keep it here! I'm soo excited about it. So now, I'm hannahemilylane.com :)

2. Hair dying

So a small change but I also finally got round to redying my hair (productive week hey). Last summer I dyed the ends blue and if you've ever had blue hair you'll know what a pain in the bloody ass this is. I've dyed over it a couple of times but it had started to come through again, so I dyed my hair again to a dark chocolate brown to cover it up again (there's a picture on Instagram). I forgot how much my hair had grown though and nearly didn't have enough hair dye for all my hair though! When I get back to England I'm going to sort my hair out properly, it's desperate for a good cut.

3. Planning surprises

I can't say too much more on this, but it's my boyfriend's birthday at the end of the month and I'm in the process of planning him a massive surprise, which I am RIDICULOUSLY excited about. I wish I could share it with you all, but he does read my blog now and then!

4. Jessica Jones

I just finished watching Jessica Jones and oh my god it's so good. You should definitely go watch it on Netflix if you haven't already. I might go rewatch it actually...

5. Blogging

I'm feeling really motivated and creative at the minute, and my blog seems to be getting all my attention. I've been learning some coding and playing around with my design, so I'm hoping it's looking good. I've got so much I want to do and I'm working through my to do list so keep your eyes out for some more design tweaks and page updates for my blog, including the addition of a homepage! My new camera has also been a game changer, it takes such good photos. I love my Canon so much and I still use it, but for quick photos that need less editing, my Fujifilm XQ2 is perfect. And it's approximately 29420139x lighter and smaller than my chunky canon.

I hope you've all had a great week!

And to all you Mother's out there, but particularly to mine, Happy Mother's Day <3
